For visable areas like those I'll cut & tack the pieces in place & get someone to tig weld them in.
I just have a mig.

Nice work! One of these days I need to tend to the area forward of the rear wheel opening. 98% of the welding I've done the past 25 years has been sheet metal. And I HATE it. The warping that elevates the metal, then it burns. Blowing holes in a thinned piece of the existing metal. The cold joint because you crank the power down because you're tired of blowing holes in the metal. Wishing you the best and hoping you are more skilled than me. Right now I'm putting floors in my Corvair station wagon. It is trying my patients.

Wow, nice score.  Those are a rare find for sure.

[Reeves1]

Score !

Two sets of NOS lower ball joints.......FREE !

[Tonycando]

Hahaha. That's a look like no other

It's not very aerodynamic, but that header arrangement leaves you a lot of room for a sweet turbo set up! 

[Reeves1]

Header problem solved ?





Winter in my shop...

[Dtmix]

Although I am not in the market for headers, I just enjoy reading about your project. Anyway, thank you for including the link for the turn signal stalk as I was looking for one to replace my pitted one. It turned out to be on sale for nine bucks...shipping is a whole other story...I have no idea how the turn stalk link got imbedded with your headers info...but it proven quite helpful to me! This proves discoveries can be made through errors! LOL. Happy New Year to all...

Happy Motoring!

Looked on e bay & all the ones I found cost more.....tried to order a set & they are not shipping out of the States right now.

Only option is to get someone down there to buy & I can pay them via Pay Pal.....I need two of thee as well. Tried to order them before & they wanted over $75.00 for shipping !

Most of the time I find I can find the same part number on eBay and they will get it shipped to me faster then waiting for the local shops to run an order. The Rad that I'm going to use in my build comes 100.00 cheaper off of eBay than the local shops

Just called Mopac in Edmonton. None at their three stores. Any place would have to be ordered from the USA and take 6-8 weeks.

I may pick up a bunch of J tubes & make a set.....? Have to think on it.

[Reeves1]

I typed into the google : Tri Y headers for SBF 7 the Summit site came up first.
Looked at them & they are Scott Drake (sp?) brand for 1970 Mustang.
Looking at the others may give a better view ?

[Tonycando]

To me anyways how they blend in is kind of crude 

[Reeves1]

Not the greatest picture of the above Headers....

[Tonycando]

I think as long as you give the pipes a good smooth merge they will work just fine,I have a pic I kept some where the looked like they would flow real good,I'll dig it up and send it your way.

[Reeves1]

Reason I ask is, I know I can mod a set to work in my car easy.

Cheap & I wouldn't have to cut up the Headman Headers I have.
I could cut the Tri y below where they join & re-make the section from there to before the collectors.

Thoughts ?

I'd put the Headmans up for sale/trade , again.......

[Reeves1]

Anyone ever have anything to do with/knowledge of Tri Y Headers ?

Every time I look at the engine bay, I'm having a hard time figuring out where four tubes will go.
Was going to do cross overs.....but now thinking I should go Tri Y.......

Photo Bucket seems to be one of the biggest internet "bait & switch - kidnappings" of all time. People stored/linked all their photos for free and then one day all of a sudden you have to pay to access them. I heard $39.99 a month (but not confirmed). Sad way to run a business.

As a side note: There was a guy who wrote a book on the Sunbeam Tiger. It sold for somewhere between $35-$50 when released in 1994. The printer folded and destroyed all the plates. After the original 1,000 book order sold (and it took some time to do) he couldn't get it reprinted without considerable expense. And for whatever reason (known only to him) he will not allow digital copies to be made/sold. This has driven the typical price of the book up to about $1,500 and in one E-Bay bidding war up to $3,455! And it is common that only one book to becomes available in any given year So, regardless of the medium, rights and control over images seem a tricky situation and beware of what you are signing up for.

pbucket has a ton of my photos that i cant access anymore .. they told me i was over my " free hosting " limit  so i deleted a bunch of them and they still kept giving me the same message ..  there was no hosting limit when i started ... 

[Reeves1]

I know that I am late in the game, but I couldn't open your photobucket link to view your project...ehem, and ummm, err, well to see the redhead as well. Is it because I do not have an account with Photobucket?

Your project sound interesting and I wish you all the success in the world! 😀

Happy Motoring,
Dan

Redhead ?

I have not used Pbucket since they went to the give me all your money deal....lost a pile of pictures.

Last time to the optometrist he said I'd get cataracts in the near future.
For now I have a dozen sets of drug store glasses around the shop. Ones I have on right now are 1.75

I'll likely just tack weld them all together & take them to town & have a guy Tig weld them to finish. My Mig (and skills ?) may not be up for the task ? Shall see.... 

[Tonycando]

Im in on the lotto for sure

[Dtmix]

Count me in as for the garage!😀 We should pool our loose change for the next powerball lotto so we all can get our garage Taj Mahal of our dreams!

Happy Motoring,
Dan

[Tonycando]

Right on. Your eyes must be better than mine cause I can't weld anymore. Now I build tack and get the son-in-law to finish for me. My cataracts are bad for the light. Lol. We will have to get the cars together one day for sure   

[Reeves1]

With Tony getting back to work on his 351C car......may have motivated me to get back at this one.
Getting set up to try my hand at Headers building....First time !
I have two sets of Headman Headers. Tried to sell them & no one wanted to pay the price.
If had sold them, the money would have gone straight back into buying new pipe anyway.....



Need to re-cover the white car & clean up a few parts/things & ....mig moved closer as well......

[Reeves1]

Finally had some rain days so I built a trans mount.
I still have welding & brackets to make & weld in......after the engine / trans are out of the car.
It is all supported by the mounts now.
Car is level & engine tilts back 3.5 degrees.
Alignment is perfect front to back for the engine / trans.
Had to off set the engine 3/8" to the right to get this perfect.

[Reeves1]

I didn't have longer bolts on hand.
Know what you mean though.

The rubber mounts are now hard to get now, from my searches for them.
But at my age I'm not worried about them
